Devils have allowed 3 goals in their last 3 games, they had no 3 game sequences giving up only 3 goals at all last season.

I’ve been extremely lucky thus far. Until tonight’s game, I’ve gotten to see every game this season. I knew I’d eventually get blacked out.
Tonight’s game wasn’t on ESPN+ because it was on NHL Network.

I was asking because recently my ESPN+/ VPN hasn’t been working so I’ve had to use the crappy MSG+/Gotham Sports feed. I wonder if they started blocking VPN users.

we only had 31 CF (all situations) the entire game. That has to be the lowest we've had in a long time.
I was watching the game on my phone while bowling, so this may not be applicable to tonight’s game, but the Devils need to get a little more going off the rush.

I think their best offensive players are all really strong off the rush but they’ve been asked to become chip and chase guys a lot of this season.

I think once the reins are loosened a little we will see some natural offensive increase at that point.

The defensive system isn't aggressive enough above the circles to create a lot of rush opportunities, but it does add some more structure around the net. Nothing easy.

I have no idea. Every time it says they’re on NHL Network, it’s blacked out. I hope you get the app straightened out. It’s hard enough these days… (I’m talking about you Comcast and MSG!)

I also think in the neutral zone they make the safe dump-in play to avoid dangerous turnovers…but I think it’s overly safe right now.

I think/hope that’s to break bad habits of never dumping in. I think once they feel the players can recognize that dump ins can be successful and players are being responsible that they allow some more risks through the neutral zone.
